    Erin has helped me on the gap in techniques that allowed me to express my musicianship, Oboe Path certainly is right for me.

    I could not imagine a better teacher for my kids than Erin. From the very first lesson, they felt at ease and confident that they were in good hands. Erin's approach is thoroughly encouraging and supportive: the student's needs come first. She is also so very talented and knowledgeable, with deep, valuable experience in performance in many genres.

    This group is wonderful—everyone is supportive, offering positive feedback and helpful suggestions. As a visual and auditory learner, I find it incredibly beneficial to see and hear others' postings, especially from advanced players. Erin's feedback is invaluable. I was initially anxious about giving up my private teacher, but the Oboe Path complements my private lessons perfectly. As adult learners, we absorb so much from different teaching styles, and it's reassuring to see my teachers' messages align in different ways.

    Erin's passion for the oboe, her musical expertise, and her enthusiasm shine through in her teaching. My daughter began learning the oboe this year at school. Private lessons with Erin did so much to advance my daughter's interest in the oboe and to increase her love of music.

    This community feels like a family. The support we offer each other is special and goes beyond one-on-one lessons. While I value individual lessons, the group dynamic is incredible. I’ve learned so much from everyone’s experiences, and I keep notes in my Oboe Path book like 'Gary said this,' building a personal guide. Sharing ideas and music has helped me grow as a player and person. Connecting with like-minded people and having their support makes me better in every way.

    Joining this community has been a game-changer. It's a respectful, supportive environment where you can learn the oboe the right way, especially through the Oboe Path. The six-month program is essential for steady progress, and I'm excited to see where it takes me. I'm confident it will work—it just takes time.

    Oboe Path sounds like an ideal university program yet is quite hard to achieve, for a hundred reasons, in universities. Wonderful that Erin is building her own structure and inviting players to join.
